I'm excited to share that I've recently reached Gold rank in Overwatch! For those unfamiliar, Overwatch is a softcore pornography game that requires a significant commitment to bitterness and abusive chat messages--all crucial skills in both gaming and cloud development.

it'd be a lot more fun if the average player understood that they're just a silly little guy playing a silly little video game instead of throwing a tantrum that you're bad or not playing optimally or whatever. Just let me play my silly non meta shit in peace and not scream and cry when you lose
always a fan of low ranked players of any given video game getting beyond mad that their teammates are also low ranked players
I'm a super casual player who only ever plays to hang out with friends, so I have no idea how to enable the team chat and have no desire to find out. If they get mad they can just scream into the void idc
Strategy teamwork and adaptability don't show before, like, Master's rank (top 0.1% of the player base). Below this rank, the game is mostly based on reflexes and timing, playing the same OP character as much as possible and remembering to go kill the big dragons or something

So it's like CS and probably most other teamplay games with ranking systems
The ones that rely on motor skills a lot are usually like that yes
A slower-paced game like Dota2 starts to require strategy and teamwork earlier but you can still win games just by very being good at pushing buttons for half of the ranks
why is this on linkedin
People post all sorts of really odd shit on linkedin, there's even a subreddit dedicated to it r/linkedinlunatics
My best guess is that if linkedin was only 
even the bootlickers would get tired of it.

she's trying to spin her gaming habit as something that will make her more appealing to employers, lol
Imagine the best thing about your game being "they made a good anime about it".
This post is about Cyberpunk 2077 actually
i can't even really remember how long ago it was that i looked into league of legends, but it was a long time ago. i don't think it was brand new, because lots of people were already playing it. i was looking for a game to play with friends online and so a friend of mine told me about how two guys we knew back in high school played it all the time now and we could play with them / use it as a way to keep in contact. and it was "Free" so what was there to lose?
so we download it and get online, only the guys from school are not really interested in showing us what's up because they are trying to achieve something and insisted we play some randoms for a while to figure it out and get better. and we quickly find that the options for noobs not paying money are limited. so we join a game anyway, and start getting told me we suck and are ruining the game because the acronym commands we are being issued by someone who has decided they are in charge of this "game" are inscrutable.
this experience was supposed to sell us on investing more time into it so we could buy stuff in game to "be better". i think i uninstalled it after a few hours. people look for different experiences in games. personally, my idea of free time isn't something where i want to let some random asshole frustratedly boss me around so i can make numbers go up and have fake money to spend on becoming more comfortable with being bossed around and eventually become one of the people who bosses others around. seems a bit too much like some other game we all have to play already.
I feel much the same way about it.
It doesn't help that "MOBAs" in general are made from the dessicated husks of what used to be the RTS genre, except stripped of map and strategic variety yet at the same time excessively burdened with floods of monetized waifu "hero" units intended to pressure users into buying them 
outfits.
I personally can't stand how long a match takes. And the constant farming and purchase of weaponry.
Fucking capitalist ass game.
Capitalism is when gathering resources to trade in exchange for goods and services
I never played it because the pitch I usually got was "people get SO MAD while playing this, it's hilarious," and I was already tired of le edgy asshole "U MAD LOL" era humor when LoL first started taking off anyway.
Yeah literally. Everyone I know who got really into it has at some point, either quit the game for a while or permanently because of the effect it had on them, or I have seen/heard them scream at their computer to an embarrassing degree while playing. It never sounded fun, and the one time I played it as a bit (got some thrift store power glove style controller working and everyone wanted me to play because I was the last hold out) I was like why is this appealing?
Can't imagine being happy to be in gold for any game, git gud ya dorks
I just hit bronze today 🥳
'hey what if we gave an ARPG the control scheme of an RTS, that would be great and not a horrible idea' - all MOBA games
League is an absolutely fun game if you are an entirely premade team entirely composed of people who don't easily anger. Otherwise don't bother.

Just about anything can potentially be fun with a few people that vibe well with you, including, like, hopscotch.
I really enjoyed the game circa 2014 or so. The game. The player base has individuals that are as toxic as reputation gives. But the matches were actually fairly slow paced and movement creep hadn't gotten incredible yet. Something very strategic about how the phases of the game went. The heroes were deep enough that you could become good with them on a level that impressed, but not so much so that you couldn't rotate between good "counters" to opponent's choices. I actually enjoyed how long the matches were. I usually only played when 2+ friends were also playing to mitigate the toxicity, but I had a blast doing it.
I played to enjoy myself, so that basically meant I engaged in 'jungling' as it was apparently called, and focused on just killing things in the jungle portions; of course the other players would hound me about playing this way or that and so I just dropped the damn game.
I know, I know, 'that's not how it's played'; yeah well I'm not playing to be the best, I'm just trying to enjoy myself.
This game is clearly not for me, and I have to play as a team player and can't just ignore everyone. Definitely not for me.
you must be a sociopath to enjoy playing league. she's C-suite material fr.
Only good thing about League is ARAM, summoners rift is legalized torture
They took TT and especially Dominion away from us. Killed so many custom mini games too
10 player friend lobbies of hide and seek was by far the most fun I've ever had playing league
I knew some pals who played it around when it came out and they had fun. They would also play as a team in the same room. Wberyone would bring their laptop over to one place and they had a good time.
It was fun, specially with friends. Too bad it now has that lame anti-cheat.
A little jealous, but I'm low ranking in pretty much everything but Butcher's Circus.
It's actually evil
